We organise a wide range of thematic days, study excursions to museums and exhibitions as well as trips to the theatre and opera. We also place great value on creativity and handicraft. At Norssi, students can complete general upper secondary education diplomas in home economics, visual arts, crafts and physical education. In early May, we celebrate the traditional Norssi Day, and in late May, we go head-to-head against the Ressu upper secondary school in the sports field.
We are organizing an open house event and introduction for students interested in studying at the Helsinki Normal Lyceum general upper secondary school on Wednesday, 24 January 2024 at 18.00 in our assembly hall.
